build diary

May 25, 2004: I decided to weld up a new upper control arm for the driver's side ret lastar wheel as well, as the existing one was a little crooked in the brackets when installed.
I had a hard time cleaning out one of the threaded tubes for the rod end - it's almost as if it were the wrong thread as it was tough going the entire way down the tube. Still, it fits now. Now that both arms are welded I can put a new coat of POR-15 on everything and get it all reassembled. Hopefully the gas tank will go back in without causing any more damage to the rear bulkhead - there's a small crease where I had to force it on the way out.
